BACKGROUND The effects of endovascular irradiation on uninjured reference segments during the treatment of in-stent restenosis are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS In the Washington Radiation for In-Stent restenosis Trial (WRIST), patients with in-stent restenosis were first treated with conventional catheter-based techniques and then randomized (blinded) to receive either gamma-irradiation ((192...

Schwannoma, or neurilemmoma, is a benign neoplasm that arises from Schwann cells, which surround peripheral, cranial, and autonomic nerve sheaths. Schwannoma has been reported to occur mainly as singular lesion of the sacral sciatic in young adults. Plexiform schwannoma, subtype rare known account for 2% 5% total schwannomas. upper extremities relatively mostly ulnar nerve. We report, with lite...

background: limited data available about the mechanisms of dysphagia and areas involving swallow after brain damage; accordingly it is hard to predict which cases are more likely to develop swallowing dysfunction based on the neuroimaging. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between brain lesions and dysphagia in a sample of acute conscious stroke patients. materials and m...

Both hemispheres are engaged in recovery from word production deficits in aphasia. Lexical therapy has been shown to induce brain reorganization even in patients with chronic aphasia. However, the interplay of factors influencing reorganization patterns still remains unresolved. We were especially interested in the relation between lesion site, therapy-induced recovery, and beneficial reorganiz...
